15.9 Using Org on a tty

Because Org contains a large number of commands, by default many of
Org’s core commands are bound to keys that are generally not
accessible on a tty, such as the cursor keys (left, right,
up, down), TAB and RET, in particular when used
together with modifiers like Meta and/or Shift. To access
these commands on a tty when special keys are unavailable, the following
alternative bindings can be used. The tty bindings below will likely be
more cumbersome; you may find for some of the bindings below that a
customized workaround suits you better. For example, changing a timestamp
is really only fun with S-cursor keys, whereas on a
tty you would rather use C-c . to re-insert the timestamp.
